Yardwork: Drew Sends Christian Middle Finger to Philly
Baseball June 19th. 2008, 10:09am
Red Sox 7, Phillies 4: JD Drew had four RBI and four hits, including a homer against the team that originally drafted him – but he boycotted them per the guidelines of his staunch Christian faith. Not really, but I always found it hilarious that Drew walked and talked about his faith but “didn’t want to play in Philly.”
Tigers 7, Giants 2: This is how you bounce back from a series-opening loss; win 5-1 and 7-2 the following two games. Placido Polanco went 4-for-4 with two RBI. He has a very large skull.
O’s 2, Astros 1: Even though none of you were with me last night when I said the Orioles would end up beating the Astros, I predicted the Orioles would win when the teams were tied in the top of the 10th. The O’s got a homer from Tejada-trade-piece Luke Scott to tie it in the 7th, and a game winning hit from Kevin Millar in the bottom of the 10th. Pretty sure the Astros aren’t enjoying the month of June.
Diamondbacks 11, Athletics 1: After suffering a 15-1 beating on Tuesday, Arizona returned the favor thanks to a “revenge start” for Dan Haren, who went seven innings and struck out eight. Haren also dropped a bases-clearing double because he thought it would be funny.
Dodgers 6, Reds 1
Derek Lowe pitched into the 6th inning for his 1st road win since last August. The Reds struck out 10 times and James Loney and Juan Pierre each had two RBI and Bill Plachke wrote…

Rays beat the best team in Baseball again
June 19th, 2008 at 10:12 AM
dissapointed imig, severly dissapointed.
Good to see the Dbags, are back on the left side of the w/l record for a night.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:12 AM
Cubs are a fluke Irish. You know this.
They play in the NL ferchristsake
June 19th, 2008 at 10:13 AM
Going to be there live tonight to see the O’s get the brooms out for the Astros.
I told you August that this was coming, if only you had listened.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:14 AM
Go Rays….what, no love for them beating the Cubs twice now? (sorry Sportsgal)
June 19th, 2008 at 10:14 AM
I can’t believe that the heated rivalry that is Twins/Nats isn’t getting any play here.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:15 AM
Chick Fight!
June 19th, 2008 at 10:19 AM
2 girls arguing about the merits of the Tampa Bay Rays and Chicago Cubs < Any other reason you can think of for girls to fight
June 19th, 2008 at 10:20 AM
To quote Jim Lahey: The Pirates walked in to a shit blizzard in Chicago
Sure they suck and are in the NL but 24 runs in two games for the team that can go a week without scoring ten warms my heart
June 19th, 2008 at 10:22 AM
Dan Haren really is quote the jokster.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:23 AM
Clown, you’re on my shitlist.
Note to Lou Pinella, either teach Micah Hauffpauir not to make the same mistake twice against the same fucking pitcher or put in someone else in the 9th inning with the game on the line, you asshole.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:26 AM
No fisticuffs, merely showing respect…
June 19th, 2008 at 10:27 AM
Damn you, Luke Scott!
If only you did that with any regularity we’d have never considered trading your inconsistent ass to begin with!
June 19th, 2008 at 10:28 AM
I appreciate you not rubbing salt in my wounds, guinness. I’m all fired up today.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:28 AM
SG, who is Micah Hauffpauir? and how exciting was that soccer game on TIVO yesterday?
June 19th, 2008 at 10:29 AM
No wonder the Cubs are so “good.” They have already played the Pirates 12 times. They get to play them 18 times per season. Talk about unfair scheduling.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:30 AM
@Clown
The Cubs aren’t a fluke. They’re legitimately good. It might seem like it in a week or so if all these injuries stick and the team struggles.
It does look like we might be in serious trouble now with injuries to Sori, Z, and Edmonds who’s hitting .300/.342/.500 for the Cubs. If Edmonds goes down we’re out a great platoon partner for Reed Johnson. Having lost Soriano already, our OF becomes super thin. Without Z, I wonder about the strength of the pitching staff. The Cubs can win the division relying on a resurgent Marquis, no-longer-sucking Lilly, and Lights-out so far Dempster. Without Z, the World Series becomes a bigger question.
The NL does suck though.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:30 AM
Tigers have pushed past the Indians. Next in their sights are the Twinkies. Will be rooting for the Cubs to beat the crap out of the White Sox this weekend.
Polanco is a hitting machine.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:30 AM
So trying to convince sportsgal that golf is a sport, and some golfers are athletes would be a bad idea today. Check!
June 19th, 2008 at 10:31 AM
Worst. Argument. Ever.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:32 AM
Tigers have pushed past the Indians. Next in Miguel Cabrera’s sights are the Twinkies
June 19th, 2008 at 10:33 AM
Aw, I’m just busting sportsgal’s proverbial balls. I find the Cubbies amusing, like snowglobes, and those paintings that look like they have real flowing rivers.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:33 AM
yeah, but whats up with his head?
June 19th, 2008 at 10:33 AM
Cubs will definitely make the playoffs. Then Zambrano will be pulled in game 1 early, so he can pitch in game 4, then they will be swept in 3.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:33 AM
@CRM…nice.
same argument every year for the cubs. they will start slumping again in august and september. whether or not they sneak into the playoffs, it won’t matter, because they won’t even win a series. the same shit happened last year. and in 2004. it’s a joke. i would make rajon rondo my best man before i believed in this pathetic franchise.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:34 AM
Sportsgal’s shitlist:
1. Clown
2. Benji
Who else do I need to add?
Hawk, I don’t agree with the “golf’s not a sport” argument necessarily, but if we’re making a list of the greatest athletes ever, no golfer should make the list.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:34 AM
Chelsea,
We both get to beat up some more NL teams first before that happens. I am curious to see how they do against the Tigers. Last time, the Twins and Tigers played, the Twins killed a nice little streak.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:35 AM
Prediction: Sox take at least 2 from the Cubs this weekend.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:35 AM
How weird was it last night when Sweet Lou came in to pull Zambrano. It was like he got to the mound, his Alzheimer’s kicked in and he forgot what he was doing. Then he remember and signalled to the ‘pen.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:36 AM
@sportsgal, you can add me to that list, you know how I feel about the Cubs.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:37 AM
@Thor. That was hilarious. They were saying on TV how Lou motioned to the bullpen 3 or 4 times, then started walking back to the dugout, then realized why he was out there.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:38 AM
That depends, is it at home or away.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:38 AM
might as well add arkbadger and myself. the cubs and celtics are my two most despised franchises in pro sports (v. 2008). the celts have supplanted the colts for the time being. the cubs will always be #1.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:39 AM
I too hate the cubbies. All of them but the Hawk that is. Wait, and shawon Dunston.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:39 AM
SG, where does Bartman fall on your list?
June 19th, 2008 at 10:41 AM
I would like to see the Cubs win a World Series in my lifetime. I liked Ryne Sandberg growing up
June 19th, 2008 at 10:41 AM
The only Cub that I have even half way liked was Jody Davis “king of wrigley field”.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:41 AM
How the F can you hate Ryne Sandberg? Or Mark Grace?
Amended shitlist:
1. Clown
2. Benji
3. Arkbadger
4. RumealRobinson
5. Imig
This list is going to have over 50 names on it before the end of the day.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:42 AM
I loved Mark Grace as a kid. And Will Clark. Was that allowed.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:42 AM
If his forehead joined forces with Sheldon Williams’ forehead, they could take over something.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:42 AM
Unless you are a Cardinals or White Sox fan how can you hate the Cubs? They haven’t won shit, it’s hard to hate a team that never wins.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:43 AM
@Hef
It’s at Wrigley this weekend, and Comiskey next weekend.
Either way, there will be more Cubs fans.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:43 AM
Did dunston really have a super arm, or did he just throw as hard as he could on every grounder to short? All I remember as a kid was his rocket arm.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:43 AM
Thanks. I was joking. They’re both in Chicago.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:43 AM
@cbh, but its sure fun to kick a team when there down.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:43 AM
At Wrigley this weekend…I think Cubs take two of three this weekend; Sox sweep at home. 4-2 White Sox take city series
June 19th, 2008 at 10:44 AM
That shouldn’t be taken rudely (in reading it, it looks rude). I was just making a joke.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:44 AM
Re: Bartman – I blame Dusty more than anyone for that epic collapse. It’s not Bartman’s fault Gonzalez commited an error and Prior forgot how to pitch. Jesus, do we really need to bring up 2003? Why the fuck are you torturing me?
June 19th, 2008 at 10:45 AM
I’d love to talk about 2003. Where’s cortes? That was during his formative years.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:46 AM
@CBH: simple really. the fans are fucking douchebugs when they go on the road. they come to milwaukee and think they own the place. same thing with cardinals fans. F them too. and Twins fans. fucking twins fans this weekend tried to say Brett Favre wasn’t that good. it was his recievers that made him. un-fucking-believable.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:47 AM
it’s hard to hate a team that never wins
I hate Cleveland
June 19th, 2008 at 10:47 AM
Cortes remembers 2003 fondly: The Marlins won the series and he had just weened himself off the pacifier.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:47 AM
2003 was only good because of Aaron Boone.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:48 AM
i’m just trying to get to #1 on the shitlist i guess.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:48 AM
Hear here, irish
June 19th, 2008 at 10:48 AM
Oh yeah Benji? Brett Favre wasn’t that good. TAKE THAT!!
Was Cortes even born in 2003?
June 19th, 2008 at 10:49 AM
Polanco is a hitting machine.
yeah, but whats up with his head?
Placido had hoped people would be facinated with his show, but cartoons had dug the well dry by ‘97
June 19th, 2008 at 10:49 AM
Come on sportsgal, that’s ridiculous. You really think a 5 year old comments here?
June 19th, 2008 at 10:49 AM
Yeah dummy. Remember he learned how to clap during the World Series.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:49 AM
that is just untrue.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:50 AM

bartman is his daddy….
June 19th, 2008 at 10:51 AM
Ok, as an O’s fan don’t deal much with Cubs fans, thanks for shedding some light on this.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:51 AM
My 3 year old nephew already knows how to toggle and write in HTML. So yes, I think a 5 year old comments here.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:52 AM
cbh – you should learn to appreciate the Cubs. They gave you Andy McPhail. And Corey Patterson.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:52 AM
@Sparty: Yeah, all the NL fans are saying, “God my team sucks” and all the AL fans are saying, “I love interleague.”
June 19th, 2008 at 10:52 AM
Sportsgal…sweety…it’s cute that you like baseball and all and you picked the cubs because baby bears are so cute…but men are speaking and it’s time to pipe down
June 19th, 2008 at 10:53 AM
I still can’t believe Dunston Checked In.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:53 AM
I appreciate the Reds more for taking Corey Patterson off our hands.

June 19th, 2008 at 10:58 AM
Why is Imig on the list?
June 19th, 2008 at 10:58 AM
@sparty. I fear the day that it happens. Cubs fans are obnoxious as hell already, I can’t imagine if they actually win something.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:58 AM
I think RWH will agree that doing this, rather than taking them outside to play and interacting with other kids is another reason for the pussification of america…
June 19th, 2008 at 10:59 AM
sportsgal..how the hell did that comment not get me to number 1 on your shit list…women really don’t know anything do they hun?
June 19th, 2008 at 10:59 AM
Dammit, I was No. 1 for the first time in my life.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:00 AM
tomorrow cubs fan learns the status of Sori’s hand and probably Z’s shoulder. crosses fingers.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:00 AM
RWH – Classic. Great stuff
Benji – since I was busy this morning and couldn’t respond to your comment about that psycho dude leaving a post on my blg…yeah. What a fucktard!? I guess I’m part of the “establishment” now, and I’m holding him and his people down. I feel so powerful. Too bad I’m actually a lowly middle manager/desk jockey with no power at all?
June 19th, 2008 at 11:00 AM
sparty…I need for people to know who I am and I need to right a book…kids that age should be banging pots and pans and tackling each other in the back yard..they should be no where near a computer
June 19th, 2008 at 11:00 AM
Which joke should I follow that up with?
So Lou makes the call to bring in Neal Cotts. Maybe now’s not the time to make sure everyone’s played.
Yeah, that’s the stuff.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:00 AM
Sorry RWH, all I could do was laugh when I read that…
June 19th, 2008 at 11:00 AM
Roman’s really pushing for it.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:01 AM
Oh yeah, and Pearl Jam is emo, apparently. And I’m a douche for liking them.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:01 AM
fetch..I strive for excellence
June 19th, 2008 at 11:01 AM
@hef – he’s a cardinals fan
@irish – things just aren’t what they used to be
@ark – I don’t know when you’re around Cubs fans, but most of just like to watch baseball and use it as an excuse to get ridiculously drunk.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:02 AM
the shitlist is growing exponentially… impressive.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:02 AM
I just don’t get how anyone can pimp the Cubs at any point. Seriously, success is measured in championships, and these guys haven’t even playd for one in over a half century, let alone do they put a string of over .500 seasons together.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:02 AM
gunniess..how’s the bikini car wash treating you?
June 19th, 2008 at 11:03 AM
asf, still baffled by that emo thing. But I think you really messed up that guys day. Sounded like you broke his heart with your post. Funny none the less.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:04 AM
my son plays a mean saucepan…His first word (besides mama and dada) was football, i kid you not.

things just aren’t what they used to be
and that is why kids are obese more and more
June 19th, 2008 at 11:05 AM
Don’t even get me started on this Neal Cotts bullshit. I had an entire rant on that Monday.
@Roman – two things: No one will ever ask you to write a book when you don’t know the difference between “right” and “write.” Also, it would give you way too much satisfaction to be #1, so you’ll stay at #2. You kind of remind me of a deuce, so it’s a perfect spot for you.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:05 AM
i have asked this before…where the fuck did the sandlots go?
June 19th, 2008 at 11:05 AM
@sportsgal. I just like hearing your reaction to the cubs hate, and it’s still early so that is all I got. Now go make me some pie.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:05 AM
Sparty…I am more of a colander fan myself
June 19th, 2008 at 11:06 AM
@ASF: he lost all credibility when he said PJ was emo. oh, and being part of the establishment is another way of saying you have a job. boo to normal people!!

Listen toots…that’s what editors get paid for…
June 19th, 2008 at 11:07 AM
Unless you are a Cardinals or White Sox fan how can you hate the Cubs? They haven’t won shit, it’s hard to hate a team that never wins.
because they are shoved down our throat every single year since 2003. they are on national tv more than anyone but the red sox and yankees. why? i’m the first to complain that espn is in love with the sawx and yanks, but at least they a.) have won something recently and b.) have stars worth watching.
papi, manny, beckett, jeter, a-rod, mariano…the cubs have fucking dempster, aramis, and derrek lee. and while those guys are nice players and all, so are ryan ludwick, carlos quentin, and adrian gonzalez. if corey hart hurt his arm, do you think he’d get the coverage soriano gets every week when he pulls his labia?

June 19th, 2008 at 11:09 AM
now that i’m at #1, it really doesn’t feel all that special. i just have this feeling of guilt in my stomach right now.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:09 AM
Ohh, but while you guys are here a serious question. Is there a website or such for writing resume’s, or examples of them?
June 19th, 2008 at 11:10 AM
@Benji – I thought the same thing. Most of what he said was at least debatable/arguable. But then when he went off on Pearl Jam I wrote him off as a fucktard.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:12 AM
Guinness – as an HR Mgr, my cliffs notes resume tips are:
Keep it one page if you have 10 yrs or less experience
Put your education toward the bottom if you’ve got 3-5+ years exp.
Don’t put an objective. I fucking hate those. Your objective is to get the job.
Tailor your resume/cover letter for the job you’re applying for. Don’t use one cover letter and mail merge different company names into it. Most HR people can tell when you do that, and it’s annoying. It shows you don’t really want that job, you just want a job.
That’s my two cents. Now I feel less guilty for being on a sports blog all day instead of working.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:13 AM
Yes.

June 19th, 2008 at 11:17 AM
the cubs have fucking dempster, aramis, and derrek lee.
Yeah, it’s not like they have Carlos Zambrano, Kosuke Fukudome, and Alfonso Soriano.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:17 AM
@ ATL I think that choad posted that message from his Berkley Tree Top abode…
June 19th, 2008 at 11:20 AM
August, You’re spot on with that. Damn Berkley and their annoying street peddlers.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:21 AM
@guinness: I just did the whole update resume and search for a new job thing a couple of months ago. I googled “resume tips and examples” and there were several helpful links that came up. Several of them are to the online job posts like monster.com and careerbuilder.com. And so advice for your interviews, wear a short skirt and show some cleavage/sideboob.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:21 AM
August what the hell is that?
June 19th, 2008 at 11:23 AM
fukudome is hitting .212 on the road. he’s a 31-year old, japanese version of curtis granderson. how exciting.
soriano is injured every month and on his 3rd team in 4 years. he bitches about his position, people bitch about where he bats, and he can’t play the field in the 8th or 9th inning of a close game.
and zambrano fought his teammate in the dugout and had to sit out because of an online porn addiction. class act there.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:23 AM
August…please…please…all links must show Tits and for the whiny I don’t want to get fired crowd..NSFW…besides that and the occasional oprah.com link (always funny) I want nothing resembling actual fodder I must read..please stop..thank you
June 19th, 2008 at 11:24 AM
@August – that’s disturbing. I have a friend who goes to Stanford Law…I hope he’s not Chief Running Foot or whatever that guy’s name is. Shit falling from trees? Are you kidding me? Like, actual shit? Wow.

i hate tree huggers, like i hate cubs fans…

Play slayer? Fuck that shoot them out of the trees…it’s justified…progress is happening..get with it

GWAR. GWAR would definitely get those naked hippies out of the trees. But then again, do we want them out of the trees and mingling with the rest of the world? They’re probably better off up there.

I do not care what Polanco looks like as long as he keeps hitting. Keep going 4-4 and scoring 3 runs. Nobody should care about his head.
@CRM – have you even seen Cabrera this year? He is much smaller than he was last year in Miami. I suppose that isn’t as good for your (very poor) attempts at humor, but it is the truth. Supposedly, Zumaya has dropped a lot of weight also and he should be back with the Tigers this week.

I love the last line. They might as well have said “Burnett has $30 million left on his contract if he sucks this year, but it’ll cost the Cubs $100 million or so to re-sign him if he doesn’t.”
June 19th, 2008 at 11:42 AM
For the record CoRM, I thought your Twinkie bit from OVER AN HOUR AGO was funny. Then again I’m borderline retarded.

Curtis Granderson OBP: .306 (career .339)
Fukudome OBP: .403
Yep, exact same player.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:56 AM
they’re both players who combine speed and power, but have a glaring weakness (granderson can’t hit lefties, fukudome can’t hit on the road). plus, granderson has 7 years or so to improve his OBP. fukudome is old as fuck.

i wasn’t even going to rub it in your face that my marlins won in 2003. i was just going to let you simmer about the rays kicking your ass.. but THEN you had to call me 5 years old.. so

Riiiiight.
Granderson, who hasn’t OBP’d over .400 once since AA in 2004 is magically going to boost his OBP by 70-80 points. Even last year, when he was actually good, he only OBP’d .361, a solid 40 points below Fukudome.
Good luck with that.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:10 PM
Fukudome is so much better than Curtis Granderson (offensively) it’s unreal. Unless Granderson hits about 50 bombs, his .300 OBP isn’t gonna cut it.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:10 PM
fun with selective stats
granderson’s total bases in 2007 = 338. wow. fukudome’s on pace for 244 this year. granderson was the 3rd player ever with 20 doubles, 20 triples, 20 steals, and 20 homers. fuku’s on pace for 11 homers, 13 steals, and 4 triples.
if anything, i overrated that clown. he has a high OBP. damn. him, scott hatteberg, and jeremy giambi should start a secret society of awesome on-base guys.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:12 PM
granderson finished 10th in mvp voting last year. if the old man ever finishes in the top 10, i’ll buy a rajon rondo jersey and wear it to the palace.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:14 PM
Who cares abotu MVP voting when they never get it right. That whole 20-20-20-20 thing is cool, but unless you’re playing fantasy baseball it’s not that big of a deal. Curtis Granderson got hot/lucky for one season and now people are overrating him, it’s that simple.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:16 PM
that’s a pretty bold statement. he got hot/lucky for one season? wow. even though he had a broken hand for the first month and SUCKS ASS this year, he still has a better slugging percentage than fukudome. yikes. why isn’t that guy batting leadoff for the cubs? then everyone can shut up about soriano sucking so much in that spot.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:16 PM
fetch, couldn’t agree more with your first sentence.. i’ve lost any and all respect i had for the MVP voting process.. when jimmy rollins gets the mvp and he’s not the best player on his own team (utley) or the best SS in the NL east (hanley) there is something wrong
June 19th, 2008 at 12:18 PM
Aruging about who is better between Fuckodome and Granderson is like arguing about who is better between Jameer Nelson and TJ Ford.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:18 PM
Rumeal: I didn’t realize your stat-disregarding extended to baseball. I think we’re all glad that it did, though. In other news, the earth is flat.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:20 PM
Curtis Granderson has one season that’s out of line with the rest of his career: it’s last year, his only good season. Plus He’s already 27, has young player skills, he should be having the best year of his career this year.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:21 PM
nick: i didn’t realize you could post multiple times per day and add absolutely nothing to every single conversation. good job. you’re the billy ripken of this site.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:23 PM
I think my VORR (Value over RumealRobinson) is off the charts.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:25 PM
i’ve never seen an iota of “value” in your posts. you bitch about kobe, talk about the browns in february, and attack people who haven’t been here for 3 years like yourself. please change your name to jay mariotti.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:31 PM
If you’ll notice, I only “attack” you, and it’s because you’ve proven time and again that you’re arguably the dumbest person on the interwebs, and I amuse myself by tearing down your arcane thoughts on all things sports.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:41 PM
what have i said that was so stupid? i mean, did rondo and fisher not prove that they are two of the worst point guards in the league last week? rondo was non-existent until game 6. and fisher disappeared for the entire series. but i didn’t see you guys in the ballin’ thread for those games. just after game 1 when i made that claim.
and now i’m debating fukudome and granderson; you’re not even fucking involved. i don’t get it man. it’s sports. people have opinions. just because they don’t match yours, doesn’t mean you have to rail against me whenever you get a chance.
the funny thing, you don’t have any thoughts on sports, just the other posters in here. jay bruce rocks. WKRP was the best show on television. and i want to be your child.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:45 PM
Arguing about who is better between Fukudome and Granderson is like arguing about who is the better American between Abe Lincoln and John Candy.
/fixed for JoePo
June 19th, 2008 at 12:47 PM
JoePo’s argument was basically ruined when he claimed John Candy was American.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:02 PM

June 19th, 2008 at 1:05 PM
I got Billy’s autograph in 1989 at a mall, good times.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:08 PM
@cbh – Actually I think that was part of the joke. To be fair though, Canadians are Americans too if you want to get technical.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:11 PM
Aaaaaand Scene.
Rondo, Game 2: 16 A, 6 Reb, 2 steals, 1 Block. only 4 points, but non-existent? Seriously?
June 19th, 2008 at 1:38 PM
SG, I just now clicked on the link..VERRRRRY NICE..luvs some Becks!
June 19th, 2008 at 2:09 PM
You clowns are lucky I wasn’t around this morning to participate in this Cubs lovefest. Especially you Robinson. I never paid much attention to your comments because they are generally worthless but you really overdid yourself today. Nice work, you deserve a cookie.
